Philly cabbie found stuffed in trunk; 2 sought

PHILADELPHIA—Police are questioning several people in the case of a taxi driver who was beaten, robbed and stuffed in the trunk of his vehicle last week in southwest Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Inquirer ( http://bit.ly/1331Fry) says detectives were talking to five people Tuesday night after searching an apartment and finding a sweat shirt similar to one worn by a suspect caught on surveillance video.

The 53-year-old driver picked up the men Thursday at 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby, but one wrapped a belt around his neck and the men stole cash, ID and debit cards and stuffed him in the trunk.

The victim was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was reported in critical but stable condition.
